Alaska is situated in the far northwest of the North American continent and is one of only two states (the other being Hawaii) which isn’t bordered by another U.S. state. Alaska actually borders with Canada’s British Columbia in the south and Yukon to the east.
Considering Alaska is so large, it’s surprising that it has one of the lowest populations of all the 50 states and because the population is only around 670,000, Alaska has the lowest population density.
The 1890’s gold rushes brought thousands of people to Alaska hoping to make their fortunes and Alaska’s next big boom happened in 1968 when oil was discovered, leading to the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
Alaska’s economy is oil driven, with over 80% of its revenue coming from petroleum extraction. The state is also an important exporter of seafoods and tourism is becoming more and more significant.
The cost of living in Alaska is renowned for being very high, especially in rural areas because of the difficulty in getting resources to these places, but the situation has been improving in recent years and as consolation, Alaska has the lowest individual tax burden in the US.
Moving to Alaska can be a very fun and educational experience, especially if you are from a much warmer area of the world. With something for every member of the family, you can rest assured that you will be happy in this new home.
